    Air filter ?

    Eve all

    Just looked in my air box at filter any s2 and its a mess (black)
    Looks like its sucked in a robin at some point as well
    Do they stock k&n filters anywhere that I can go and buy off the shelf on Saturday
    Or is it a order item ?
    Cheers

    Oil from a K&N can mess the MAF up. The BMC filter is a better bet if going for aftermarket but the OEM paper filter is fine for normal use and easily up to chipped RS2 levels.

      I've had one of these in my car for a few years now.

        As suggested, stick with a decent branded new paper one, easily good enough.

        Look at changing your fuel filter also, if this is the level of maintenance your car enjoyed before you bought it.

        Brake fluid also, not forgetting the line to the clutch. Not dear to do, but certainly worthwhile.

            I've run K&N since 2004 with no issues. It's the same as a Golf, so readily available.

              For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

                K&N's are fine if you don't go mental with the oil, my preference is a genuine VAG paper filter, their not expensive.
